This game is exactly what they say it is - a mayor + city STRATEGY GAME / SIMULATOR. It's not really a city builder, and the reviews dinging it because of that are nothing short than people not understanding what the developers have created.

If you enjoy strategy / simulator games and have always wanted to create a long lasting family dynasty this game is for you.

Needs a coat of polish and a price drop, but this scratches an itch for a niche that hasn't ever been filled. I'm a student in Land Use and Government Law (among others) and I've been waiting for a game that makes you less of a "God Mayor" simulator where you design a city without limitation, but more of a "county supervisor" simulator, where even small actions are political and costly beyond just the bottom line of the city. This is that game... it just needs a bit more work. Kalypso has a history of releasing games that have great core ideas but need a bit more work, and this is another example of the same. The game needs a few more rounds of optimization, as it shouldn't be causing my computer so many problems. The UI needs work and just EVERYTHING needs Paradox style tooltips to explain what it does and how it plays into the city as a whole. Finally, the political simulator needs a bit more difficulty thrown in (or the economy does). But still, if this is a game that will receive a lot of post-release support, than it could easily become a long-time favorite. $40 is a bit steep for the state it is in now, though.

So, I'm really sort of on the fence with this game. Its built off a great concept and it runs smooth and looks good.... But I don't quite think $40 is the right price tag for this.

I have low playtime atm, because i'm debating a refund. Again, not because its necessarily a bad game, but I just dont know if i see getting $40 worth of fun out of it. If i decide to keep it, i'll update this review.
